Ok, due to the silent treatment I've revceived over the <expunged> GeForce4 card, I've went ahead and swapped in my MCPC's mobo, memory, vidcard and CPU into my other Linux box. The MCPC will get a M4N78 Pro and a GeForce GT520 once those are available locally, but until then it's an empty case with parts strewn around.

Now, this box has a vidcard that is a Biostar branded GeForce 210 (GT218), and this card does not play nice with Windows 7 since after Driver 197.45- hence all this while it's been running on 197.45 drivers. It also has an identity crisis- it's BIOS lists it as a GeForce G210 even though it is in fact a GeForce 210. What is confusing me even more is that certain websites claim that GeForce210 = GeForce G210.

For the sake of my sanity, I've decided to go back to Debian Sid. As predicted, it ships with XOrg 1.10.1.
